Hope Crisis Center

Hope Crisis Center provides services in Fillmore, Gage, Jefferson, Saline, Seward, Thayer, and York counties in Southeast Nebraska. The service area is rural and totals 4,305 square miles with a population of 88,952. 

Hope Crisis Center supports a 24-hour, 7 days per week crisis line, one-on-one advocacy, temporary shelter, emergency assistance, legal advocacy, medical advocacy, information and referrals, and community education. 

Living under the power and control of another often leaves victims ill prepared to escape the violence and its traumatic impact over the long term. They face complex, difficult issues of finding affordable housing, effective case management, counseling, childcare, and transportation. 

It is through the support and guidance of Hope Crisis Center's advocates that so many victims and children are given the opportunity and knowledge of living a life free from violence. It is through this same advocate support that victims are able to receive appropriate first responses and are also connected with community resources resulting in safer interventions and climate for disclosure.
